Decision fit
Who Augment Code is best for
A context-engine-driven coding and agent platform for large production codebases.
Best for
- Teams working across large monorepos and complex production codebases
- Organizations that want shared semantic context across IDE, CLI, code review, and external agents
- Engineering teams that need pooled usage rather than per-seat AI subscriptions
- Enterprises requiring SSO, customer-managed keys, data residency, audit, or private deployment options
Tradeoffs to review
- The current public Business entry is $100 per month and is oriented toward teams rather than solo developers
- Code completions were deprecated for non-enterprise legacy plans, shifting emphasis toward agents and context
- The Business plan adds a 40% service fee to provider-list-price LLM usage
- Advanced isolation, CMEK, SSO, data residency, and private deployment are Enterprise capabilities

What Augment Code is
Augment Code is a team-oriented AI software-engineering platform built around a semantic Context Engine. It supplies context and agents through IDEs, terminal, GitHub review, APIs, MCP, and cloud automation.
- 01
Context Engine maps code structure and retrieves task-relevant context
- 02
Agent implements multi-file tasks and can run tests and tools
- 03
Auggie brings the agent and context engine to the terminal
- 04
Context Services can enrich external agents such as Claude Code and Codex

Editor and coding workflow
IDE users work through Agent, Chat, and context-aware suggestions. Agent creates a plan, edits files, executes commands, uses MCP integrations, exposes every action, and saves checkpoints for rollback. Auggie provides a similar workflow in a terminal UI.
- 01
Agent supports complete feature, refactor, dependency, documentation, and testing tasks
- 02
Agent mode pauses for commands while Agent Auto executes more independently
- 03
Quick Ask restricts a request to read-only tools
- 04
Automatic checkpoints allow rollback to earlier workspace state

03 · Product analysis
Agents and orchestration
Augment supports configurable CLI subagents and Cosmos automation. Subagents receive independent context windows and specialized prompts, while Cosmos provides concurrent remote sessions and enterprise-scale workflow execution.
- 01
Custom subagents can specialize code review, testing, security, and other tasks
- 02
Subagents use independent context windows and can be selected automatically
- 03
Cosmos provides cloud compute and concurrent agent sessions
- 04
Daemon and automation modes support longer-running organizational workflows
Primary evidence: Auggie subagents, checked 2026-07-12.

Context and extensibility
The Context Engine is Augment's central differentiator. Context Services expose semantic search through MCP, TypeScript and Python SDKs, HTTP, CLI, and open-source connectors for repositories, documentation, schemas, runbooks, and local files.
- 01
Context Engine retrieves relevant code across large repositories
- 02
MCP enriches Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and other agents
- 03
SDKs support custom context-aware agents and applications
- 04
Connectors index GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, websites, local files, and S3-backed indexes

05 · Product analysis
Delivery and code review
Agent can start branches and pull requests from GitHub issues or connected tools, while Augment Code Review evaluates GitHub pull requests on every paid plan. Enterprise adds analytics, allowlists, multi-org support, and richer MCP context.
- 01
Agent can create branches and pull requests
- 02
Code Review is available on current paid plans
- 03
Diffs, commands, tool results, and checkpoints remain inspectable
- 04
Enterprise Code Review adds advanced analytics, policy, and organization controls

Pricing and usage
Augment's current public pricing lists Business at a flat $100 per month for up to 50 seats, including $100 in pooled monthly usage. Enterprise is custom. This supersedes older public Indie, Standard, and Max pricing.
- 01
Business is a flat team price rather than a per-seat charge
- 02
Up to 50 team members share the included usage pool
- 03
LLM usage adds a 40% service fee to provider list price
- 04
Top-ups are pay as you go and remain valid for 12 months
No ongoing free plan is listed; trials and beta access may be offered separately
See official pricing
Business flat monthly price for up to 50 seats
Business includes $100 in pooled monthly usage across LLM inference, Context Engine, and compute for up to 50 seats. LLM inference uses provider public API list price plus a 40% service fee; compute has no service fee. Additional usage is pay as you go. Enterprise is custom.

Security and governance
Augment says paid-plan customer data is never used for AI training and documents SOC 2 Type II. Enterprise offerings add customer-managed encryption, ISO/IEC 42001 controls, SSO and SCIM, data residency, granular access, audit trails, SIEM, and private deployment options.
- 01
All current paid plans exclude AI training on customer data
- 02
SOC 2 Type II applies to the platform
- 03
Proof-of-Possession and non-extractable architecture are designed to reduce unauthorized code access
- 04
Enterprise adds CMEK, private deployment, identity, audit, and data-residency controls
Primary evidence: Augment Code security and privacy, checked 2026-07-12.
